Simon Tovey, Head of the New Now Sale in London, said: “The demand for our New Now category shows no sign of slowing down. This strong result marks the growing appeal of works by both new and established artists alike. The sale was led by KAWS’s ‘Untitled (Color)’, with further standout results by Korakrit Arunanondchai and a selection of works by Modern British artists, led by Sir Peter Blake. New Now champions the interesting and the accessible, and the positive international response to this sale cements this demand.”
